5294.0. "UNABLE TRANSLATE PORT DEVICE TYPE While remote boot" by GIDDAY::SHCHIU () Wed Apr 23 1997 03:59
axp/vms upg from v6.1 to v6.2-1h2
DEfta ( fddi card ) on dec 3000-500 Satellite node.
alpha 4000-620 boot node with fddi card.
the DEC 3000-500 has been remotely booting fine from axp 4000 node
under VMS V6.1. and when boot node upgrade vms, all satellite nodes
firmware was upg to v5.53 ( cdrom version v3.5 ).
and other satelite like Axp 3000-800, axp 3000-6001 has no
problem to remotely boot , except this dec 3000-500.
the console message :
audit_load_done
unable to translate port device type
the turbuchannel upg also been done.
still no luck, down grade firmware on the 3500, no change .
>>> boot -fl 0,30009
IPB-I-BOOTDEV , DETERMMINING BOOT DEVICE <<<<<
UNABLE TRANSLATE PORT DEVICE TYPE <<<<<
get user to check the boot device found
it set to "0 0/esa0"
and user check all other satellite nodes has the same boot_device
value.
I wonder what might have cause the problem ?
no problem if booting via ethernet .

| 5294.1 | move the fddi card | CSC32::S_DANNEN | Live long and slobber | Wed Apr 23 1997 10:20 | 5 |
| Try moving the FDDI card out of Tubochannel Slot 0. I think the
fix for this will be in V3.9 firmware, but I have not worked on
a system with that installed yet.
